After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 40 Breakup

Later, when Lin Xingzhu faced Bai Xiying's deeply suppressed calm expression, she lost confidence in her ability to handle this absurd mistake without revealing her true feelings.

In that brief encounter, Lin Xingzhu finally understood that when facing someone uncertain and liked, feelings of inferiority and unease could rise from the depths of one's heart.

Her lips turned pale as she seriously looked at the guilty Jiang Yeyu. "Yeyu, I know you wanted to help me, but helping someone shouldn't be like this."

"You don't understand my situation and thoughtlessly tried to provoke her, which is wrong."

"Moreover, the feelings between two people shouldn't be hastily stirred or investigated this way. True affection is about the harmonious interaction and mutual connection between two people. It should be something they naturally seek and affirm, not pushed or triggered by external forces or a casual third party."

Lin Xingzhu continued, "This method is unnecessary for me, and it's unnecessary for her too. What you did, in essence, belittles both her and me."

In that final sentence, she could no longer tell if she was speaking to Jiang Yeyu or warning herself.

Jiang Yeyu paused, slowly grasping the meaning behind Lin Xingzhu's words.

She sniffled and suddenly realized how unfunny her well-intentioned joke had been.

"I'm sorry, cousin, and to that sister as well." Jiang Yeyu genuinely recognized her mistake, lifting her head, her nose still red, and declared firmly, "I'll go find her to apologize and explain!"

Saying this, she stood up and headed for the door.

Lin Xingzhu quickly grabbed her, gripping her tightly. "Just sit here. I'll go talk to her."

Jiang Yeyu looked up at her anxiously.

Lin Xingzhu managed a smile, ruffling her hair. "As long as you can recognize your mistakes, I'll handle the rest."

In the past at the Qin family, Lin Xingzhu had a good relationship with her rowdy cousin, so dealing with Jiang Yeyu at this age felt natural for her.

Besides, the real person to blame for today's misunderstanding was still herself.

If she hadn't indulged her desires and allowed those petty, ridiculous thoughts to spread, none of this would have happened.

Standing in front of Bai Xiying's door, Lin Xingzhu knocked and silently stared at the doorknob during the wait.

The door opened, revealing Bai Xiying's expressionless face behind it.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Xingzhu paused, her gaze sweeping over Bai Xiying's unmoving face. She said earnestly, "I'm here to apologize."
